"Time quickens the older you get, as if the universe is trying to push you toward the finish line, to make room for the younger, the stronger, to mark your brief place in history and move on."
The characters of The Berry Pickers didn't feel like characters; they felt like real people, and by the end of the book, it felt like I was sitting across from family, listening as they told me their life stories. I love stories like this because they bring everything to life - do you agree? All the characters ended up holding a special place in my heart, and I desperately wanted them to find the peace they deserved.
It may have taken me a bit to get into the story, but it's nothing other than me being distracted while listening to the audiobook. But, once I found my footing, I couldn't get enough of the story. It was a quick read and, yet, a profound story about family grief and forgiveness.
